A U.S. District Judge's decision revoked a COVID-era ban on accepting new detainees at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center, increasing its capacity amid ongoing concerns over the facility's conditions. Concurrently, California faces a significant decline in its western monarch butterfly population, with only 9,119 reported this year, attributed to extreme temperatures and drought affecting their migratory patterns. Experts emphasize the need for continued monitoring and action to protect both the affected populations of detainees and at-risk species like the monarch butterfly.
The specific drop we saw this year largely attributed to the really hot temperatures and the drought that we saw across the West in July, somewhat into August and again in September and October, when that migratory generation should be making its way to the overwintering sites.
Hatter's ruling is unrelated to former President Trump's immigration plans. In 2020, he ordered ICE to release detainees after finding the agency failed to properly address the outbreak.
